A episode of 20 million won, it looks a lot.

But combined with Yoo Jae-suk's identity, it is a new drama.

Although he has filmed many sitcoms before, although "Kamen Rider - Queen of Time" has a special theme, it is not comparable to sitcoms after all. If you give it at the price of a newcomer, a million is far from impossible.

The entire actors' franchise has cruel competition, which is far beyond the public's imagination.

Popular people become fat people, while unpopular actors live like beggars.

Those who are famous but not in front line, and whose income and deposits are not even as good as those who work in convenience stores.

(Refer to Chengxun's "I Live Alone", eat kiwis and skins together, and three meals are watermelon + cereal. More than half of the artists who appeared on this show cannot even obtain bank loans.)

And Yoo Jae-suk's identity is naturally impossible to really measure according to the standards of the actor circle. Even if he is willing to accept it, the producers cannot afford to lose this face.

Similarly, Empire Entertainment can't afford to lose this person, and so are the two of them.

"Then... two thousand five million per episode?" Song Jifan tried to propose.

"No matter what, the price of the words National MC is actually a bit low.

But avoiding criticism, for this price, the additional five million is the friendship between the president and him, how about it?"

"Feable..." Li Xiankui nodded.

"The total number of episodes of this drama is about fifty episodes, with 25 million won per episode, and in the end it is more than 1.2 billion.

The 1.2 billion yuan pay seems terrifying, but... and some actors often pay 100 million won per episode, Seol Kyung-ki is even more 500 million won at a time, which is very cheap.

Ten years ago, Bae Yongjun starred in "The Four Gods of the Tai King" and the episode was as high as 250 million won in one episode... "

"yes..."

Song Jifan was very moved when he heard this. A national MC, whom he knew from children to 80 years old, had a low income.

"Using the franchise of National MC and these popularity, we can raise the attention of the new girl group to a higher level. This money is worth it."

The attitudes of the two at this moment fully demonstrate that 1.2 billion won is not painful or itchy for Empire Entertainment.

During the group formation, Red Pink, who had not yet debuted, brought 10 billion yuan in profits to the company through advertising, and took out one tenth of them, and the future returns will be more than that.

"It's true, I remember that Taekui always wanted to transfer Yoo Jae-suk's contract from FNC to Empire Entertainment."

"But later the president gave up." Song Ji-fan was an insider at this and smiled at it.

"But later, after investing in some FNC shares, the president felt that Liu Zaishi's contract was the same everywhere.

At least it is beneficial to support Han Shenghao in fnc."

“The FNC hasn’t really gotten up yet.

It's a bit funny. Since Liu Zaishi xi joined FNC, the stock price growth has been even better than the several groups this company already has.

In order to keep him, Han Shenghao also gave him shares, but was rejected by Yoo Jae-suk."

Using shares to retain people is something that many companies will do, but very few people can enjoy such treatment.

As far as the two know, among the three major societies, only S·M and YG have had precedents.

"With Yoo Jae-suk, he wouldn't want it, and FNC's shares are not worth anything."

Song Ji-fan carefully examined the invitation letter, the performance statement, script, etc. that need to be signed.

Finally, he signed his name on the signing place and stamped his personal seal, which means that the materials are officially effective.

Li Xiankui reached out to take it. Just as he was about to get up and leave, the secretary pushed the door and walked in.

"President, Director Lee."

"What's the matter?" Song Jifan frowned slightly, a little unhappy about the other party coming in without knocking on the door.

"WMV President Li Yuanmin and Woollim President Li Chongye have arrived, and have also brought girls from two companies."

"Hmm? What's the wind today? I just came and they just bumped into each other."

Song Jifan stood up in surprise, "I remember, they came for the song, right?"

"Yes... After negotiations before, the presidents of both companies agreed to the plan for our Imperial Entertainment to join the board of directors of the two companies."

Li Xiankui was confused while listening, "Wait, when did Taikui acquire such two companies?"

In his impression, Woollim had previously acquired a part of his shares by S.M, and is currently the second largest shareholder of the company.

It’s just that I don’t participate in the decision-making and operation of this company. As for WM, it’s a smaller company that can’t be smaller.

With Lee Hyun-chul's personality, he shouldn't care about companies that cannot be converted to a regular business in two companies.

"It was a long time ago, but because it was not necessary to do it, the president has always put it on the agenda.

On the contrary, due to various reasons, the two companies took the initiative to come up and hoped that we could help their girl group create a debut song."

Empire Entertainment now integrates two giants, Kakaotalk and Loen. Its records and online music platform channels are exactly what many small and medium-sized entertainment companies must cooperate with.

It can be said that even the three major societies with their own channels must cooperate with the current Imperial Entertainment, even if they publish audio sources on the local Internet.

Therefore, the behavior of WM and Woollim is not so difficult to understand.

As Song Jifan explained the causes and consequences, Lee Hyun-kui suddenly realized.

"When I met Mr. Lee in the company, he laughed and joked about some of the operations that Taikui had done during this period, and seemed to be interested in becoming the president of the girl group in the song industry.

At that time, I thought it was a joke, but now I really smell it.”

"The president of the girl group?"

Song Ji-fan's expression is a bit strange. Lee Hyun-cheol's concern for the girl group from beginning to end is almost the same as Lee Soo-man's attitude towards the boy group.

Combined with the girl group plans proposed in the second half of the year and the next year before leaving the United States, each of which was shockingly detailed. The girl group president is really well deserved.

I guess Li Xianzhe himself heard it, and at most he smiled and would not refute it.

Shaking his head and not going to talk about this topic in depth, Song Jifan glanced at the secretary and murmured.

"Taking this new song as an opportunity, it will be a matter of time before the two girls, WM and Woollim, join our company.

After becoming the largest shareholder, I believe that with the temperament of Li Yuanmin and Li Chongye, they will definitely not do things that they can do without spending money. For example... ours is used in the practice room and the canteen."

"It seems that there are two very large practice rooms in the company that have been empty all the time, and they can be used for these two girl groups."

Li Xiankui reminded him tacitly, and Song Jifan walked up the stairs directly.

"You go and take these two girls to visit the new practice room. As for the two presidents, let them come to my office.

We need to talk about the distribution of interests of songs."

"Yes." The secretary responded and then stepped out.

"Don't you go and see it in person? After all, it's the company that Taykui likes, so there must be a reason for him to like it."

Seeing that Song Ji-fan was not going to meet these two girl groups personally as president, Li Xiankui couldn't help but tease him.

"If it's all good seedlings, maybe your encouragement can still play a role."

"There are opportunities, not at this time."

Song Jifan shook his head. For him, if the potential of these two girl groups can be the same as that of the Imperial Girls, then they will meet.

However, the fact that Li Xianzhe has always faithfully implemented the decisions left by him made it impossible for him to predict the future like the other party in many ways.

For example, Oh My Girl and Lovelyz will leave a gorgeous chapter in the new era girl group camp.

At least at this time, because of the faces of Li Yuanmin and Li Chongye's businessmen, he felt a little contemptuous of the two small companies, WM and Woollim.

Of course, I have no good expression on the two girls who have not yet made their debut and have taken the initiative to come to ask for good songs.

In fact, his reaction was not surprising, and others would think it was a natural manifestation.

Li Xiankui knew that he was not interested in this area, so he stopped persuading him.

However, the incident of WM and Woollim bringing their own girl group to the door today also reminded him of a small thing that was almost forgotten.

"Speaking of this, our company really doesn't have the idea of ​​recruiting trainees for grandfather exams?

I heard that recently, the company's official email has received many self-talent display submissions from people. Many of them are the seedlings that even the reviewers think are good, but the company has regulations that can only give up."

Song Jifan didn't expect the other party to mention this matter and was slightly surprised.

"In the past, the conditions in all aspects were immature, and the company did not have artists who produced their own products.

The president believes that if there are no amazing results in this regard, even if trainees enter the company, they cannot be a good seedling. If a real good seedling is the first choice for the three major societies... But now it is different."

Now Imperial Entertainment will launch its first girl group to produce itself, and the producer project will be officially announced soon.

At the same time, the company's girl group preparation plan 2.0 and 3.0 versions were displayed. At that time, the first recruitment and selection of trainees will definitely have an unprecedentedly popular effect.

"The president's meaning is to wait until the producer's plan is announced to the public, and we will prepare to conduct trainee auditions.

Registration points will be set up in South Korea and Southeast Asian countries.”

"So what you mean is that if there are good seedlings who post their videos to the company now, the company will not refuse directly like before?"

"Yes, the time has changed."

A positive answer was received from Song Jifan. Lee Hyun-kui pursed his lips, held the lens with his right hand, and then slowly took out two photos from his pocket.

"I originally thought that the company did not take the initiative to recruit trainees from the outside world. The previous four boys entered the company was also an accident.

It is difficult for people inside to say that similar situations will happen again.

But just recently, when I was chatting with Director Li Haoyang and Director Fang Shihe, I heard from them that there were two seedlings with good potential.

They asked me to ask you for your opinion, and if possible, they would like to inform them to come to Seoul for the final interview.”

"Two?" Song Jifan was a little curious.

"If you can get Director Li and Director Fang to approve it, that must be good. Do you have any photos or information?"

"There are photos, I asked people from the company to download them from the resumes they sent their personal PR videos."

Pushing those two photos in front of Song Jifan, Lee Hyun-kui whispered.
